| · What to Expect on Day 1 of the Trade Expo | |
| Because time is the most precious of assets, we understand the need to make the case as to why you should attend each day of the GNEMSDC Trade Expo. Every day of the Expo is different and is designed to bring certified MBEs and corporate members closer together and closer to contractual relationships with each other. The first day while focusing on opportunities in retail is a great day for certified MBEs to learn of the full range of opportunities associated with retail. Think of major national chain like CVS-Caremark, Stop and Shop or TJX and imagine all of the operational details that must be addressed before a customer can come into the store and buy something off the shelf. These organizations have great opportunities for MBEs who have something to put on the shelf and for MBEs who support their operations, from IT to logistics. We will have over 20 buyers from retail organizations. These buyers are for products that are sold on store shelves as well as for goods and services that support the stores. Only certified MBEs and MBEs who are "in process" are eligible to participate in this excellent program. And if that was not enough, Wednesday is also the day when the GNEMSDC board meets along with the senior advisory committee which includes the CPOs of several of our major corporate members. Most of these decision makers will be there for the reception on Wednesday after the day of meetings. Here is a summary of the first day:
It will be worth your while to join us on Wednesday, September 29. I hope to see you then. | |
